Events.

1t is the testimony of two Of the keepers
of the best class of downtown restaurants
that business has been heavier for the past
week than on any week since the rush al
the carnival. These men say that more
prominent business men, whose faces are
familiar on the street, have been ordering
''porterhOuSe with mushrooms in the past
six days. with q recklessnesS that has
aroused the curiosity OF all the employees OF
the establishments. This was thought tC
be due to the fact that the men vino so Or
dered were making paying deals in real es-
tate, and were so taken up with business
cares that they had no time to go home fol
dinner. At any rate, tine ::orterhouse and
mushrooms have had the boom.
A lady, however, with whom reporter
CHANGED to be in conversation, explained
this state of things by remarking that since
the carpets had been taken up, and the
range had been moved. her husband had
not eaten meal at the house, except break
fast, and she would be glad when the
housekeeping was over, for she admitted it
bothered her as much as any one of the fam
lily, and her husband would again board in
the family.

A few evenings of the past week have
been almost warm enough to call for ice
cream parties, but the blizzard of Friday
rather helped out the young men for few
days longer.
The poet who said ''In the spring the
young mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love" was not singing for this section of
the country. The young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of base ball. Just
now. and single glance through the grand
stand at the West side grounds will prove
this to the most skeptical. The young
women's thoughts are turning in the same
direction, to a greater or less extent, and
each pleasant afternoon that part of the
grand stand devoted to ladies has been
pretty wet filled up with the fair sex.
~
The ladies seem to have some difficulty
in keeping up with the intricacies of the
score card. The other day at the first De-
troit-St. Paul game. fair creature had her
escort sharpen lead pencil and she began
to keep the run of the game. She said she
wanted the Detroit team to win because
they had the prettest uniforms and De-
troit was such real nice town. She had
more enthusiasm for Detroit than knowl-
edge of the game. When Wilmot sent the
ball flying over the fence she said:
"Oh isn't he awful. I'll just give him an
error"
That's home run; that isn't an error, -
said her escort who was full of enthusiasm
for the home team.
Il don't care. l believe he didn't mean to
do it. I'm going to put down two errors for
that" and down went two big black marks
against Wilmot's name.
II think the umpire's real mean, too' she
said. when Mr.. Brennan gave close decision
against her favortes. 'Why don't he run
around the bases, like the rest of them? He's
great horrid thing to just stand there and
call those Detroit men out. They're not out
at all. I'd like to be an umpire once; /
wouldn't let a single ST. Paul man make a
score. Oh, why don't ne call that man out:
He don't know how to play ball. anyway. Oh.
Detroit is such nice town, its inst too lovely
for anything; was there all last summer
AT this point her escort hailed peanut
boy, and the enthusiastic young lady de-
voted her attention to nckel's worth,
while her escort kept score.

Society has been rather quiet for the past
week, though there is promise of one more
spasm of activity before the lake season
opens and the closed blinds will indicate
that the natrons and misses are Dasking by
the blue waters Of White Bear and Mime.
